JET CAMPUS:: Maimonides Leaders Fellowship

HOME | DONATE NOW |

This is JET's comprehensive crash-course that covers the basics of Judaism while connecting you to an amazing group of student peers. Weekly sessions address the Jewish view of happiness, friendship, relationships, Jewish history, G-d, Israel, Torah and just about everything else. The real highlights of the Fellowship take place outside the classroom with Shabbat and Jewish Holiday celebrations as well as a tour of the West Rogers Park Jewish community. You will just never be the same after the Kosher Scavenger Hunt in Jewel/Osco! JET's Maimonides is offered in the Fall at UIC and University of Illinois- Urbana/Champaign and in the Spring at DePaul, Loyola, University of Chicago, and University of Illinois- Urbana/Champaign. Students from other campuses, graduate students, and young professionals are also eligible to apply. A personal interview will be arranged after an application has been submitted.
